Learning Goals
Course Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)
Upon completion of this course you, the student, will be able to:
Explain the basic structure of cells and tissues and the relevance of this structure to human physiology (SLO-1)
Demonstrate a fundamental understanding of homeostasis and feedback loops (SLO-2)
Identify anatomical structures (SLO-3)
Determine general physiology of a structure based on anatomical observations (SLO-4)
What these SLOs mean:
Since the terminology used in the SLOs is something you will learn over the course of the semester, I've translated them into everyday language:
Be able to explain what the human body is made of, how it is organized, and how it helps the body function.
Be able to explain how our internal environment (inside our bodies) is controlled, and how it responds to changes in the external environment (outside our bodies).
Be able to locate and name parts of the body. For example, naming the bones of the arm or the muscles of the leg.
Be able to identify the organs and body parts and explain how they work.
How you will know if you have met the learning goals?
Each assignment in the course is tied to one or more learning goals, and those goals are listed in the assingment instructions. If you complete the assignment with a "complete" or score 70% or above, then you have achieved the learning goal listed.
